Went to the Martin Scorsese exhibition in Melbourne today. It was very good with a lot of his personal memorabilia on display and audio commentary on the tour.

What it highlighted is just how many of his movies I either haven't seen or haven't seen for a long time. Something I will correct over the coming months.

I also didn't realise that so many of his movies involve themes of;- New York - he is a native New Yorker and grew up in Little Italy- Religion - he grew up in a Catholic environment- Failed Heroes - a lot of them have many character flaws

Also that De Niro has been in 8 of his movies and he has other faves like; Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel and Leonardo Di Caprio.

His latest effort "Silence" isn't due for release until December but it is featured in the Exhibition.

His anti-hero Travis Bickle (De Niro) uttered that immortal line "You talkin' to me?" in the 1976 classic "Taxi Driver" which launched Jodie Foster into stardom as a 12 year old prostitute.

If you get a chance when in Melbourne, have a look at the exhibition. It's on until September at Federation Square.
